    I had a really great time at My mom's. I ordered their carnitas tacos and lemonade. You order at the counter and the person who took my order was so warm and sweet! It got busy while I was there so it's a popular spot. Really cute ambiance! Would recommend for a quick bite.

    Great little place. We tried it for lunch and enjoyed it. Very much like home. From the plates to the sopita de fideo.

    Bowl of Love
    Josh B.

    I won't forget the surprising juxtapositions of the Bowl of Love, or the friendly vibes, including when my internal monologue about decoding restaurant menus went external. The red chile is a standout on its own; there's heat but much more than that. The Bowl of Love in which it appears is a structural wonder. Not sure how they do it but presumably science is involved. The other components - fideo, beans and squash - should be sampled on their own at first but at some point blending is inevitable. This is the kind of place where I perhaps spend too long staring at everyone else's plates.

    They are located in the ground floor of office building right across from police station. They did a great job decorating the place and you can pick your table based on which flower painting you like. Food was spot on. Would happily revisit them to try more. We had breakfast.

    After judging a goat show for the Bernalillo county 4H we decided to try My Moms for brunch. We have wanted to try it for a while. We were greeted right away by a real nice lady and told to look at a menu before ordering at the counter. Lunch started at 10:45 and we were a little early for it, but wanted to try the breakfast. My husband ordered the Big mama biscuit with sausage. It had a green chile gravy that had a tasty flavor. It was not spicy but but he said it was delicious. I ordered the Huevona's Rancheras with red chile. Mine was very flavorful but not spicy at all. We will definetly be back. Prices were very reasonable.

    Decor and seating

    My first visit to this establishment was on May 27, 2025. Is it a nice location downtown with adequate nearby on street parking. The outside signage is a little bit subtle, and you may have a hard time finding it on your first visit. But once you find it, you'll be glad you did and you will be back. I guarantee it. The staff is friendly and accommodating. There's good natural light. The decor is colorful and interesting with lots of creative painting on the table tops. The menu features comfort food with lots of nice choices. I had a tuna salad sandwich and my friend had green chili stew. The sandwich was absolutely delightful. Soft bread with a nice taste to the tuna itself. Prices are very reasonable.

    Red chile enchiladas with egg
    Rece G.

    First time in New Mexico? Then there's a simple stop for you to make to get all you need from local cuisine. My Mom's does everything right: the service was kind and quick, the reputation is amazing and the food was very local and authentic. The Green Chile in the bowl was some of the best I've had and the enchilada dish was very cool, lots of flavor with the egg being a nice touch. The owner, Carla was working inside and greeted everyone that came in, many on a first name basis. People of all sorts came in while I was sitting down and I thought that was great, this really seems to be a spot that is loved in this city.

    Absolutely one of my favorite lunch spots downtown, it can be a little hard to find but definitely worth it. They have a great selection of different sandwiches and breakfast offerings. My go to is definitely the Ruben which is a favorite from back in the day when they had a different restaurant. In addition to the more savory bites, they always have a good selection of baked goods. Usually just a cake or two, but they're always great.

    Biscuits and gravy
    Gabriela L.

    The best biscuits and gravy I've ever had! This place is so good, great flavor and service. I highly suggest to give it a try!

    Mamacita Breakfast Sandwich
    Chelsey E.

    It's a whole vibe! You can taste the love in this food, absolutely delicious!! Super fresh & tasty! Great service and atmosphere.

    New place in downtown Albuquerque just opened in 2022. Hard to find unless you are looking for it. At the bottom of an office building, with no big signage. Big open area with large windows floor to ceiling. You order at the counter, paying for the meal, and tipping, ahead of time. Customer picks up the utensils, gets plastic cup for filling with water and ice, and come back to the counter to get their plates of food. Wife's $10.50 red enchilada was a big portion of cheese enchilada covered with red chili sauce, and an egg. Passed with flying colors, something not easy considering she lived in Santa Fe for 18 years. My $10 lazy tacos came with ground beef, shredded cheese, and red chili sauce. Very spicy. Like a beef patty cut into half for each of the two tacos. The tortilla was fabulous in texture and taste. After you are done, you have to bus your trays. The only thing they don't have you do is wipe off the table with a cleaning cloth, which is the only thing done by the waiter. 20% tip to wipe off the table?

The area looks old and poor, but near the restaurant, we didn't see anything sketchy. When we were leaving, we did see some homeless people at the main intersection, but we didn't see anything we'd describe as sketchy. We did notice there is a mobile home park behind the restaurant, but there is a wall between the mobile home park and the restaurant parking lot. Even if there were police surrounding the mobile home park, we'd still venture inside to eat. The food is that good. We shared the cowboy breakfast burrito and the Santa Fe pancakes. Both were filling and ridiculously good. The Santa Fe pancakes made with blue corn, roasted piñons, green chili, and cheddar jack cheese were different than anything else we've ever had. I'll admit I didn't love my first bite or two, but the more I ate, the more I wanted. The pancakes are dry, but if you drizzle some syrup, it's the perfect match. The accompanying eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly. The cowboy breakfast burrito is massive, filling, and worth every calorie. Even though we were stuffed, we had to get the peach with green chile turnover. We asked if the turnover is served warm and our waitress replied that she could warm it up for is. I'm not sure that it is normally served warm, but I highly recommend it. The turnover flaky, the glaze was silky once warmed up and the peach with green chile was unique and delicious. Five star service and food. I highly recommend Vick's Vittles and hope that I'm in the area again so I can try more of this delicious food.

All new staff that clearly don't understand the restraunt business. Went in today for breakfast, seated in the back. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. Took longer than normal to get waited on. Placed our order, had to correct the waitress several time on our order. Waited quite awhile, long enough to need more coffee. None was coming so had to call out to another waitress to get more. Our waitress did come back to bring the coffee. Before she got there we were discussing the fact that the entire staff was new. She must have overheard us and took it as some kind of slight to her. Two minutes later the manager came over to inform us that we were being rude to her server and that she would be taking over our service. After some discussion my wife said, "this is ridiculous, guess we won't be coming here again" the manager said "well I'll cancel your order and you can leave now". We said we didnt want her to cancel our order and she just said have a nice day. So we left. Sooo not the Vicks Vittles of the past.

    Before visiting, I called with a question about the restaurant's name change. The person who…read moreanswered was incredibly helpful and patiently explained that only the name had changed, which I appreciated. For our meal, we ordered two Chicken & Waffles plates, a Blue Corn Lavender Waffle, and a kids' plate. The Chicken & Waffles were the highlight of the meal, offering a satisfying balance of sweet and savory flavors. The Blue Corn Lavender Waffle was a unique touch and a fun way to try something distinctly New Mexican. Neither my wife nor I cared for the drip coffee, so we asked a staff member if we could swap it out for double espressos. They were happy to accommodate us, and the espresso was a significant improvement. The service was friendly, and the staff made a positive first impression from the phone call all the way through our visit. For our family, the total came to about $80, which felt a little steep. We ended up eating inside since the patio tables were either occupied or unavailable (due to a sleeping homeless person). The restaurant is housed in a renovated older home, and they've done a nice job making the most of the space. One of my favorite touches was the collection of retro waffle makers displayed along the walls, which added a fun, nostalgic charm to the atmosphere. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'd happily return to explore more of the menu.

I had to pick between savory and sweet, and the menu is huge with lots of options plus build your own! I went for savory and got it with goat cheese and spinach (built my own). It was delightful. The blue corn is just a tinge sweet so was an interesting mix. The waffle is a decent size but is super filling and dense. I'll have to try some sweet waffles or some different waffle bases next time! That said there are lots of gluten free options as well, so if that's for you, then don't hesitate to come check it out you won't be disappointed. There is indoor and outdoor seating, though in general the place is small-ish and can get crowded during busy times. Parking is also a bit of an adventure, but so is anywhere in that area. The staff is super friendly as well. All in all a great experience and I will be back. I can't believe it took me so long to get here in the first place!
